Wednesday, May 27, 1959

San Francisco 6, St. Louis 2
at San Francisco, CA

STL 000 000 101 = 2-8-1
SF   203 000 01x = 6-11-1
WP- Antonelli (8-2); LP- Blaylock (4-4)

Willie Kirkland, Willie Mays and Orlando Cepeda hit back-to-back-to-back solo homers in the third inning to stake the Giants to a 5-0 lead. Mays had also hit a two-run shot in the first inning. The Cardinals fell to four games behind red-hot, first-place San Francisco. John Antonelli pitched his seventh complete game of the season to earn his eighth win.

Pittsburgh 3, Milwaukee 2 (12 inn)
at Milwaukee, WI

PIT 000 000 200 001 = 3-9-3
MIL 100 100 000 000 = 2-11-1
WP- Law (2-5); SV- Blackburn (3); LP- McMahon (2-3)

Don Hoak's RBI single in the 12th proved to be the game winner. The Braves had the bases loaded with nobody out in the 10th but failed to score. Both starting pitchers (Vern Law and Warren Spahn; Pittsburgh and Milwaukee respectively) threw 11 innings in yet another Pirates-Braves pitching duel. Milwaukee's Hank Aaron and Wes Covington pulled a rare feat: back-to-back triples in the first inning.

Chicago 7, Los Angeles 6
at Los Angeles, CA

CHI 061 000 000 = 7-13-3
LA 030 010 101 = 6-10-0
WP- Hobbie (5-5); SV- Elston (5); LP- Drysdale (7-5)

The Dodgers dropped their seventh straight as the Cubs roughed up Don Drysdale, the league leader in innings pitched. Seven straight Cubs batters reached base in a six-run second inning. Chicago pounded out 13 hits to move to within one game of .500 (21-22). The Dodgers, alone in first place two weeks ago, are in fifth place, 9 games out of first.


Philadelphia 4, Cincinnati 2
at Cincinnati, OH

PHI 010 201 000 = 4-11-1
CIN 000 000 020 = 2-6-1
WP- Roberts (6-2); SV- Farrell (2); LP- Purkey (5-5)

The Phillies built a 4-0 lead by the sixth inning and held on. Roy McMillan's two-run homer in the eighth inning brought the Reds close, and Cincy loaded the bases in the ninth inning before Dick Farrell got the final two outs for the save. Sparky Anderson had a double and two RBI for the Phillies.
